Ark of Memory

At the end of 2012, the Jewish Museum in Prague, together with the Academia publishing house, prepared another outstanding publication – a monograph on the museum’s history, written by the museum’s head of collections management, Magda Veselská, with an epilogue by the museum director Leo Pavlát. This is the very first book to deal systematically with the history of this unique institution. In many ways, the twists and turns of its history reflect the dramatic fate of Czech and Moravian Jews in the last century.

The Museum provides the website www.jewishmuseum.cz, via which and by means of distance communication, it enables the concluding of contracts for the supply of goods.

The following terms and conditions are in accordance with Act No. 89/2012 Coll. (hereinafter referred to as “the Civil Code”).

(1) The Museum shall provide the following information to the purchaser before a binding offer is made via email:

a) The purchaser has the right to withdraw from the contract within fourteen days. This term shall commence from the day of signing the contract and (i) in the event of a purchase contract, from the day of receipt of the goods by the purchaser, (ii) in the event of a contract for several kinds of goods or for delivery of several components, from the day of receipt of the last delivery of the goods, or (iii) in the event of a contract for regular delivery of goods, from the day of receipt of the first delivery of the goods,

b) The purchaser may withdraw from the contract by completing and sending the sample form for withdrawal from the contract; this form constitutes an appendix to these terms and conditions,

e) In the event of withdrawing from the contract, the purchaser shall bear all the costs associated with returning the goods, if the goods cannot be returned by the usual postal service on account of the nature of the goods.
